Strategies

Basics

• With Shermie your main goal is to try to get really close in with the opponent for some throw combos, but it will be really tough because your only thing with range is Cr. B or Cr. D.

With Cr. B not cancelable/comboable and Cr. D being a sweep and unsafe on block.

• Other good ways to land your throws is also by interrupting attacks with slow startup or punishing whiffed moves with a lot of recovery or forward rolls.
